Pros: Lightning fast section from Saltmarket to Lancefield Quay, easy overtaking spot at the Gorbals hairpin, loads of old buildings along Broomielaw that can be made into pit garages.
Cons: Not many high-speed turns, except Laurieston Road.
Main Feature: Finnieston Bridge (furthest west point of the track).
Track Guide: Flat out at just over 200mph past the start/finish, absolutely flat along Anderston and Lancfield Quay, then a 60 degree left over the Finnieston Bridge, then a hairpin left onto Paisely Road. Kerbhopping across the roundabout come chicane, and then into another left-right chicane. Then a fast left hander onto West Street and hard on the brakes into the 90 degree right hander onto Clyde Place. More 90 degree left/rights, as the track weaves its way into the Gorbals. As drivers try to dodge Neds trying to steal their tyres, hard braking for the hard left Cathcart Hairpin, then a fast sweeping right-left bend through Laurieston Rd, across the River Clyde again and hard braking into the left turn onto Bridgemarket, a straight that isn't quite straight, then a final right kink onto Clyde Street and finally back onto the pit straight.
If we can't have Glasgow Park can we have this? Knockhill is a bit shite.
T3 is very fast, also the S that is turn 4, it has evil curbs so no cutting on the inside. It goes a bit uphill from there to T5 which is faster than it looks because it's banked. Then it's downhill to T6. Careful, because there is a very small crook to the left before T7. Then uphill again. There are two versions of the track: the first one has a fast but tricky chicane (8) that leads downhill into T9/11 - a hairpin in this version. In the GP version the chicane is not used, instead T9 is a fast right hand corner. Then a little curve to the right before T10, which is banked again. T11 is a very fast corner because the track is wide, but the corner radius is very small, it's a very sharp kink actually. Then uphill to T12 and in the corner it's downhill to T13, a bit like the corkscreew but not nearly as steep.
